Condition Report
In overall good condition with no obvious signs of damage or repair but would greatly benefit from a professional polish.

Surface scratches and minor dents and dings to the outside as to be expected. Some scuffing to the base of the cup.

Hinge to the captive lid a little loose, and the cork bung usually located inside the lid is missing.

The detachable cup is a snug fit, but there is some scratching to the body hidden by the cup, possibly the assay office testing area. Gilding to the inner of the cup is in reasonable condition, with some minor scratching and scuff marks.

Hallmarks rubbed but readable.
